HARRY KEWELL'S sour move to Liverpool last night erupted into fury over allegations of 'missing' millions.

HARRY KEWELL'S sour move to Liverpool last night erupted into fury over allegations of 'missing' millions.

"Angry and frustrated" Leeds chairman John McKenzie has slammed Kewell and representative Bernie Mandic for allegedly holding Leeds to ransom after completing what has become a protracted and bitter transfer.

Mandic, however, has ridiculed McKenzie's accusations as "absolute codswallop," and is threatening legal action against Leeds and the chairman.

It is understood Liverpool initially agreed last Friday to pay Leeds &#xA3;7m, however, according to McKenzie the implication is the Reds were instructed to only offer &#xA3;5m, giving the other &#xA3;2m to Kewell to help cover his five-year contract worth an estimated &#xA3;15m.

Leeds also claim that Mandic then told them that to avoid Kewell 'doing a Bosman' next summer and leaving for nothing he would like 40 per cent of the &#xA3;5m transfer fee - amounting to another &#xA3;2m - leaving United to bank "a paltry" &#xA3;3m.

A furious McKenzie said, "I can say that I am angry and frustrated at the outrageous situation that has developed over the last week.

"The reality is that on Friday, July 4, I agreed a deal of &#xA3;7m with Liverpool Football Club, which Kewell and his agent refused to countenance.

"Instead, they made a condition of not doing a Bosman that we pay &#xA3;2m to Kewell's representatives, and Liverpool Football Club then reduced the fee to &#xA3;5m. What happened to the remaining &#xA3;2m only Liverpool or Harry Kewell could tell you."

Mandic claims he has a signed, headed letter from McKenzie giving him authority to sell Kewell for &#xA3;5m.

"If Professor McKenzie wants to throw stones then he needs to remember the documentation he signed as recently as late June," said Mandic.
